mcp-ksef-pl 🇵🇱

English | Polski

A Python MCP server providing tools for Polish electronic invoicing compliant with KSeF (FA(2)) and Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 / EN 16931. It enables AI agents (Claude, IDEs) to generate, validate, and submit invoices to the Krajowy System e-Faktur (KSeF), as well as validate Polish tax identifiers (NIP and REGON).

Built on

This package is built on mcp-einvoicing-core, the shared base library for European e-invoicing MCP servers. It provides an OAuth2 HTTP client, token cache, data models, logging utilities, and an exception hierarchy.

mcp-einvoicing-core is installed automatically as a dependency, no additional step is required.

🏗️ Architecture

The server acts as an intelligent communication interface between the AI agent and the KSeF platform and the Peppol network:

[ ERP System / Application ] <--> [ MCP Server ] <--> [ KSeF (MF) / Peppol Network ]
          ^                           |
          |                           v
   [ AI Agent (Claude) ] <--- (FA(2) / EN 16931)

uv sync --all-extras

⚙️ Configuration (environment variables)

🔐 KSeF authentication

KSeF API v2 uses a multi-step challenge/redeem flow to issue an AccessToken. This MCP server accepts an already-obtained token and cannot automate the signing step (it requires a qualified electronic signature).

Step-by-step flow

1. Account setup. Register at the KSeF portal: https://ksef.mf.gov.pl/. Select the target environment (test or production). The test environment is at https://ksef-test.mf.gov.pl/.

2. Request a challenge. Call the KSeF API to obtain a challenge XML envelope:

   curl -s https://ksef-test.mf.gov.pl/api/online/Session/AuthorisationChallenge \
     -H "Accept: application/json" \
     -d '{"contextIdentifier": {"type": "onip", "identifier": "YOUR_NIP"}}' \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json"
   

   The response contains a challenge string and a timestamp.

3. Sign the challenge. Build an <InitSessionTokenRequest> XML envelope containing the challenge, then sign it with your qualified e-signature. Accepted signing tools:

   • Qualified e-signature providers: KIR (Szafir), Certum, Sigillum
   • podpis.gov.pl (government signing portal)
   • Profil Zaufany (Trusted Profile): https://www.podatki.gov.pl/ksef/

   Example using xmlsec1 with a PKCS#12 certificate:

   # Build the challenge XML (template at specs/przyklad-wyzwania.xml)
   xmlsec1 --sign --pkcs12 your-cert.p12 --pwd "password" \
     --output signed-challenge.xml challenge-template.xml
   

4. Submit the signed challenge. POST the signed XML to obtain an AccessToken:

   curl -s https://ksef-test.mf.gov.pl/api/online/Session/AuthoriseXades \
     -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
     --data-binary @signed-challenge.xml
   

   The response contains sessionToken.token (the AccessToken) and sessionToken.context.referenceNumber.

5. Set the token. Export the token for this MCP server:

   export KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN="<the AccessToken from step 4>"
   

   The token is valid for approximately 2 hours from issuance (per MF documentation). After expiry, repeat steps 2-4.

🤖 Claude Desktop integration

Add the following configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksef-pl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ksef-pl"],
      "env": {
        "KSEF_ENVIRONMENT": "test",
        "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your-ksef-session-token>",
        "KSEF_NIP": "<your-nip>"
      }
    }
  }
}

⌨️ Cursor integration

Cursor supports MCP servers via stdio. Add the configuration to:

• Globally (all projects): ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• Per project (this repository only): .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksef-pl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ksef-pl"],
      "env": {
        "KSEF_ENVIRONMENT": "test",
        "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your-ksef-session-token>",
        "KSEF_NIP": "<your-nip>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload the Cursor window (Ctrl+Shift+P → Reload Window) after saving changes.

🪐 Kiro integration

Kiro supports MCP servers through a dedicated configuration file:

• Globally: ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json
• Workspace: .kiro/settings/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksef-pl": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-ksef-pl"],
      "env": {
        "KSEF_ENVIRONMENT": "test",
        "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "<your-ksef-session-token>",
        "KSEF_NIP": "<your-nip>"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Security tip: instead of entering the token directly, use the syntax "KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN": "${KSEF_SESSION_TOKEN}", as Kiro resolves shell environment variables at startup.

📋 XSD schema (FA_VAT_v1-0E.xsd)

Full XSD validation requires the official schema from the Ministry of Finance. Without it, validate_fa2_invoice only executes business rules.

1. Go to: https://www.podatki.gov.pl/ksef/dokumentacja-techniczna-ksef/
2. Download the FA(2) technical documentation package
3. Place the FA_VAT_v1-0E.xsd file in the src/mcp_ksef_pl/schemas/ directory

The file is excluded from the repository (.gitignore), it must be downloaded manually. Helper script: scripts/download_schemas.sh
